Postbit Collapser/Arranger

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

This add-on makes the text portion of postbits collapsable and allows the selection and arranging of what profile fields will be displayed in postbits.

Features

Select which profile fields to display in postbits.
Select which standard vB fields to display in postbits.
Set the order that the fields will be displayed in.
Detects new profile fields and adds them to the postbit order display for selection.
Detects deleted profile fields and removes them from the postbit order display.
Does not add any database queries to the vB frontend.
Adds Local Date and Local Time options to the available fields.
Detects and adds Photopost Gallery option to the available fields.
Does not affect mods that add to the proper postbit hooks, but those items can not have their order changed.
Support for other mods to add their postbits to this add-on so the order they are displayed in can be changed.
After editing a post or posting a quick reply, the entire postbit for that post is shown to the member that edited/posted the post.

NOTE: This add-on contains the Local Date/Time code by the late Rob Hindal (Boofo). If a large number of people think this should be removed from this mod I will remove it.

This add-on will not work with any mod that forces the use of the standard vB postbit_legacy template, or with any mod that requires manual editing of the postbit templates.

Known Mods that do this:

[DBTech] Advanced Post Thanks Like v3.0.3 [Lite] (Due to double Blog This Post link)
Info box on Postbit (may work with edits to that mod)
Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO : (Due to manual edits)

A live demo of this can be seen on my site: http://snogssite.com

* INSTALLATION *
-----------------------
1) Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum's root.
(If your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)

2) Import the product XML file (product-pbcollapse.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

3) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Postbit Display Order and set the fields you want displayed.

The Postbit Collapser will be in the Thread & Posts area of the ACP Menu
Be sure to save the options even if you don't make any changes.

4) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Collapser Settings and turn the system on.

If you want to use a different graphic for the expand/collapse button in postbits change these buttons:
/images/buttons/collapse_40d.png
/images/buttons/collapse_40d_collapsed.png

Will this use custom profile fields also?

Yes it does I have it running on my site and this is one of the cool features of it. It also has a postbit if you have photopost installed linking to that members gallery and this is a very cool feature, something I have wanted for a long time. Overall this is a very cool mod and it really give a finished neatness to the thread view and can save a load of space if you have a long postbit with a lot of info in it.

nhawk thanks for all the effort put into doing this mod really appreciated. I think having Robs code in it and mentioning it is a very nice tribute to Rob

It will not only make your current custom profile fields available to be included in postbits, it will also detect when new custom profile fields are added and make those available too.

EDIT: I've attached a screenshot of the postbits containing the results of a radio button, single selection menu and checkbox custom profile field values. All types of custom profile fields can be used in postbits with this add-on.

Also other coders can include their postbit info so it's position can be changed in the postbit display. If not included, it will display in it's normal position and can't be moved. Instructions for coders are included in the .zip file.

It can't change the order of another mod's postbits and they will appear where they normally would in the postbits. It says that in the description in the first post...

If you want the post thanks stats to be included so it's postbit order can be changed, you need to contact the author and have them follow the instructions in the Programmers_ReadMe.txt file included with the postbit collapser.

As a matter of fact, the Programmers_ReadMe.txt file uses the Post Thanks mod as an example of what is needed to add that info to Postbit Collapser. ;)

Nirjonadda

11-16-2012 07:13 PM

Please Try to add option !

1. Postbit Collapser First Post in Thread
2. Use Collapser Postbit In These Forums
3. Use Collapser Postbit In These Threads
4. Auto-Collapse (This setting controls whether the bars added to the postbit should be collapsed by default)

Rich	11-16-2012 07:48 PM

The timing of this modification is uncanny. I popped over here just now to see if this mod existed or if I needed to write one for my site. This mod is much appreciated. ;)

I do not think I will do any of those.

The purpose of this mod is to make the postbit area as compact as possible while still leaving the graphic information above the text area complete in all forums, threads and posts.

To add those defeats the purpose of the mod.

If you set 'Automatic Entry Into The Template' to 'Yes' in that mod, it shows properly. There's no need to add any code to the postbit_collapse_legacy template. (tested with version 4.1.4 of that mod)

EDIT: Discovered it only partially works. Added that mod to the list of known mods that force the use of postbit_legacy

Roll back to the last version you had until I can find out why it's not working.

Actually I know why it's not working. vB 4.1.10 does not detect the mobile style the same way as vB 4.2.0. I need to see if I can make it work in both versions.

Reputation isn't handled well with this. Is there some way to include it with the rest of the fields?

Rep Power is included with the rest of the fields. And it can be moved around without any problems.

Sure, I've had the update running on a site that runs 4.1.10 for a while now to be sure there aren't any problems.

The update was released on my site today. It will follow here next week.

Thank you for this mod.

Could you imagine to add an option permitting to select if by default the postbit info is collapsed or not?

Not sure why (haven't really looked into it yet) but this mod isn't working for me OOTB.

-EDIT-

Just so I'm clear, it's not just modified styles, but all styles.

Check for mods that force the use of postbit_legacy..

Love the idea, but when using it with the default template and horizontal (new) postbit, it removes everything but the user name and member level. All the fields on the right side disappear when it is enabled.

The attached screenshot is how it should look using the default postbit template. It shows the postbit info collapsed and expanded.

The postbit info should be hidden when it is collapsed. On some site, the postbit info is huge and takes up a lot of room. This mod hides it so it doesn't take up so much room.

I think I may have found a bug. When enabled, my comments on articles won't show. Disabled they do.

Also is there a way to make the country flags work with this? My members are crying and want their flags back. :D

I'll have the fix for that out shortly.

Which country flag mod are you using? If it's Boofo's country flags mod, you need to make this change to his 'Country Flags Template Edits' plugin...

Find...

Code:

$templatename = $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] == 1 ? 'postbit_legacy' : 'postbit';

Replace it with...

Code:

if($vbulletin->options['pbcollapse_offon'])

{

        $templatename = $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] == 1 ? 'postbit_collapse_legacy' : 'postbit_collpase_postbit';

}else{

        $templatename = $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] == 1 ? 'postbit_legacy' : 'postbit';

}

What version of vBulletin are you running?

Do you have the mobile style properly defined in ACP->Settings->Options->Style & Language Settings? (Default Style for Old Mobile Browsers and Default Style for Modern Mobile Browsers) They can't be set to 'None'.

His mod was a premium mod. You won't find it anywhere. After he passed away, his premium mods became unavailable.
